Any good/passable diving south of Saigon?

[jiveturkey]

I'm heading to Ho Chi Minh and the Mekong basin next week. It's not a dive trip but hopefully I'll be able to get a couple in if there's any around. I know the best diving in Vietnam is in Nah Trang but that's too far north for my limited schedule. Maybe somebody knows of a local beach that has some decent diving.

.....it's really that bad down there is it?

South of Ho Chi Minh is the Mekong Delta, as you know. Well, that means a major sediment outflow and murky viz something which most divers don't fancy.

You're right but it's the end of the rainy season so it's possible it won't be so bad. Maybe there's something further north but still not too far from HCM.

I hope you find a dive spot. I'm still waiting to find out if there is any diving in Halong Bay in N Vietnam. Ask for me when you are in Vietnam if you don't mind.
